Welcome!

Yavneh, the Orthodox group of Columbia University and Barnard College, is one of the largest and strongest student groups on campus. Yavneh is based in the Columbia/Barnard Hillel Kraft center, centrally located on campus, and is one of its many religious groups. From daily minyanim and learning initiatives, to social events like Make-Your-Own-Pizza Night and Assassins, there are endless ways to get involved. No matter where you come from, this is a place where you can feel at home.
